k...i got another hood and it won't close properly. anyone know the method of adjusting it on a 4th gen hatch? im trying to figure out if its not closing because of the way i put it on or if its cuz my **** is still pushed in a bit from the accident. i straightened it out a lot and the latch thingy is JUST missing the hole. anyone?

 

when i put my new hood on it fit fine... judging from the damage you had i'd say your still a bit out of whack though

 

im gonna try different hinges tomorrow...btw apparently i was right by your house last night when i was getting the hood from blue dream

 

yep you were... i gotta take my mallot to my hindges to lower them a bit so the hood sits flat... but it does close properly just doesn't sit properly....



ps matt sell me that header

 

well mine got damaged when my hood flew up so tomorrow when i get other hinges that are normal maybe it will help a bit

 

your hood flew up too??

i thought it was from that fender bender??

hoods flying up isn't cool

 

Are you guys talking about Carbon Fiber Hoods or OEM when you mention your hoods flying up?

 

mine was oem... and my new hood was free... so basically all i had to get was a new windshield which i also got a rather nice deal on....

 

mine was oem too...i drove my car too the friday meet to show everyone what happened and on the way home it smashed my window lol ask bdotdan he was right beside me on the highway when it happened.

 

i just got hinges...hopefully they help

 

got the hood to close...not sitting perfectly cuz one side of my car is still pushed in a bit BUT...

I was jumping up and down while pulling on the hood and it didn't budge...would you guys say that that was secure enough? I'm really paranoid after it popped up once already. However, when it did pop up the first time, my hood was really bent and there was a lot of air getting under there and nothing was straightened out yet at all.

 

i always pull on my hood whenever i drive anywhere now....

i got my hood primered today those damn spray cans sure dont last long though

 

If you are that paranoid, get hood pins.

 

it would look all ricey on a stock hood... people would see it and think i just went to crappy tire and got the fake ones you glue on

 

how much are hood pins?

 

and i dont think they look rice on stock hoods


long live the sleepers

 

You guys should get hood pins or even hood locks. I think the hood locks look a lot better. Not RICE in my opinion if it serves a purpose.

 

ok but noone has still given be an approx. price on them

 

hey punk, still want my seats?

 

shlammed, actually you were at my house, blue dream is another issue. =)
